Agreed. I wasn't a fan prior, but the show made me really enjoy Pete.

I forgot about LA to Vegas. I really liked that one. Rubicon still pisses me off to this day.

Freaks and Geeks is the answer. Arguably the single greatest season in TV history. Arguably. But it's up there.

Not sure why people are listing mini series that were intentionally meant to only be a single season.

Pushing Daisies

*Technically 2 seasons, but only 22 episodes total, so honorable mention.

This had a great premise that felt like Lost or Alias, but just didn't get the viewership I guess.

Interesting sidenote about the concert Lindsay Weir went to, it was The Who , which I actually saw that very same tour, in another city. Really ties up in nostalgia.

Yes, I still have my ticket stub too.

This was David Garrison's big break before his role as Steve on Married with Children. This was also our first glimpse at Bateman's sarcastic persona, which worked perfectly with Garrison as the straight man. Their interactions were the highlights of the show.

This was Julia-Louis Dreyfus right before Seinfeld, and she was the reason to watch this show. She was a minor character who stole every scene that she was in.



ETA: This series' claim to fame was that its highest rated episode was a Brady Bunch episode where they reunited most of the BB cast in a dream sequence where Christopher Daniel Barnes dreamed that he was Greg Brady. Six years later, Christopher Daniel Barnes played Greg Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie.

Same episode Lindsey and Kim ran over Millie's dog Poor Millie.

That's pretty cool.

That show had such great music. Loved when Mr. Rosso (incredibly underrated character) breaks out the guitar and plays "Eighteen". Everybody is weirded out but Nick, who appreciates music, was kind of blown away and is like "Guys, Mr. Rosso is really good!"

Well it had 3 seasons...


My votes are:

A travesty neither one got a second season.
